Investigating Slopes




Fourth Class : Investigating Slopes


We in Fourth Class decided to investigate slopes. We asked our caretaker to cut a tube in half that we got from Recreate . We used Math's books as a measurement for the slope. We used 3, 5, 8, 12,15 and 20 books. We let the toy car go at the top of the slope.






We measured how far the car travelled in cm using metre sticks.






We recorded our findings on the table below.


We came up with the conclusion that the higher the slope ( the more Math's books we used) the further the car went.



We drew bar charts to represent our findings.
